<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:&quot;Arial Narrow&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;">In the past few decades massive economic, political, social and cultural transformations have taken place in the region known as Asia. In the process, it has acquired an increasingly
 prominent place in the world. Whether or not this &#8216;rise of Asia&#8217; merits talk about a coming &#8216;Asian century&#8217;, it is clear that the historical context for the study of Asia has irrevocably changed.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:&quot;Arial Narrow&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;">Four major considerations are at play here<span style="color:#1F497D">.&nbsp;
</span>First, increasing globalisation has led to growing interpenetration and interdependence between different parts of the world. This problematises prevailing boundaries, not least those between &#8216;Asia&#8217; and &#8216;the West&#8217;.<span style="color:#1F497D">
</span>Cross-border interactions and transnational connections across and beyond the region are now vital determinants of local and national conditions in all parts of Asia. As a consequence, now more than ever, such local and national situations cannot be
 meaningfully studied without consideration of the constitutive role of the broader regional and global context. At the same time, studies of global significance must increasingly include studies of what is occurring in Asia.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:&quot;Arial Narrow&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;">Second, economic development throughout the region has given rise to the emergence of complex and vibrant new societies for which descriptors as &#8216;traditional&#8217; or &#8216;postcolonial&#8217; are inadequate,
 and whose understanding can no longer be pursued through using Western modernity as a benchmark. These societies are becoming modern in their own ways, requiring new concepts and tools for analysis.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:&quot;Arial Narrow&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;">Third, these recent transformations have led to a burgeoning interest in studying Asia among scholars who do not call themselves &#8216;Asianists&#8217;, for example in cultural and media studies,
 gender and sexuality studies, and human and urban geography. Thus, while specialist area studies and the disciplinary cores of political science, history, languages and so forth remain central, intellectual engagement with Asia has widened considerably.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:&quot;Arial Narrow&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;">Fourth, and crucially, as modern Asian societies mature there are new generations of Asian scholars who conduct research and scholarship on and within their own societies, establishing
 their own, intraregional scholarly networks. For these scholars, Asia is not &#8216;other&#8217;, as is still often the case for Western scholars.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:&quot;Arial Narrow&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;">In short, as Asia becomes an increasingly prominent, complex and self-confident region in the world, the meanings and potentials of &#8216;knowing Asia&#8217; require fundamental rethinking at multiple
 levels.<span style="color:#1F497D"> </span>The conference will encourage reflection on the implications of these shifts on the field of Asian studies, both in Australia and internationally. In this light, we are seeking panel proposals which are organised
 around themes. At the same time, the conference will be open to general papers as well as area-specific panels.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
